First day of Interviews in Miami
23 March 2011
We just finished our first day of interviewing in Miami.
We started our day at the home of Mendy Fellig, who graciously hosted his mother’s interview.
Mrs. Miriam Fellig. "Its so hard to describe who the Rebbe was and what he really meant to me!"
She spoke very nicely, and with much love about the Rebbe.
She was a holocaust survivor with no family and she was so overwhelmed with the Rebe’s love when she first met him, that she asked him to adopt her! And the Rebbe agreed! And that began a beautiful relationship. She would always complain about life to the Rebbe very candidly, and the Rebbe would give her much attention and practical advice.
After that, we went to the Mayberg home. They were one of the first Baalei Tshuva here in FL. They really spearheaded much of the stuff here. The Rebbe was always mekarev him whenever he saw him.
One story that comes to mind is that after they were blessed with two girls and a good few years of not having children, they would ask the Rebbe for a brocha for a boy.
The Rebbe never addressed it until one time when Mrs. Mayberg was in yechidus alone, she came out of the yechidus with much excitement. The Rebbe said “the time is now, your husband should have a kohen to duchen with him in the Beis Hamikdosh.” A year later – to the day (!) – their son was born.
That’s all for now. Got to go to sleep for tomorrow is another day of interviews. Click ‘more’ for pictures.
Once the Rebbe stopped her 'complaining' short by profoundly saying "don't be a worrier, be a warrior!"
"Mr. Mayberg! You are a Kohen, right? Please have me in mind when you do Birchas Kohanim (priestly blessings for the holiday)." That was surely my most meaningful and memorable Birchas Kohanim!

Yankee Teitelbaum, our cameraman with us in Florida, got a great shot of the interview.
We just bought this Hi-Def screen that allows us to see everything clearly before we start our interviews.
"We went to Israel after the 1967 war. I asked the Rebbe what type of Shlichus we can do there. He gave us 2 missions. One of them was quite out of the ordinary..."
Notice how Yankee T coolly switched around the set to a completely different angle for Mrs. Mayberg's interview.
